Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I returned this morning (April 10, 2006) to the place where the Watercock resides. I saw it at the same area again, but unfortunately it wouldn't come out from the thick grass. As consolation, I was rewarded with detailed shots of a Yellow Bittern, an immature Black-crowned Night-heron, Chestnut Munia and Scaly-breated Munia.
